Something Within
Alexa Abbott
About the Film:
"Something Within" is based on inspirations from the fashion designers Gianni and Donatella Versace. I originally fell in love with fashion at a very young age becauseI loved to be creative and draw my very own designs. I took a fascination with Gianni Versace after watching the Netflix Series "The Assassination of Gianni Versace." His story is striking, and it has always stuck with me. After taking a few classes in film and screenwriting, I knew I wanted to create dance for film, and thus "Something Within" was born. One person, two contrasting personalities. The struggle between the version of herself she wants people to see, and who she really is behind closed doors.
